CNET took a look at this Intel Core Duo based notebook from Dell, here's a short snip from their review: "The Inspiron E1705's design is nearly identical to the Inspiron 9300's, crafted out of sturdy and stylish magnesium alloy and measuring 15.5 inches wide, 11.3 inches deep, and 1.6 inches thick. Our test unit weighed 8.2 pounds (9.3 pounds with its AC adapter)--an ounce or two less than the HP Pavilion dv8000z, the Sony VAIO AX570G, the Gateway NX850XL, and most other late-model, 17-inch, multimedia-focused desktop replacements. Still, the Inspiron E1705 is too heavy for regular travel.."
